New York REIT’s One Worldwide Plaza, a 1.8 million-square-foot skyscraper in Midtown that was valued at $1.45 billion in 2013, is coming back to the market with Eastdil Secured.

New York REIT retained an Eastdil team led by Roy March and David Lazarus to begin marketing its 49 percent stake in the Midtown office property One Worldwide Plaza early next month. The real estate investment trust, which is in the process of liquidating all of its assets, has the option to buy the remaining 51 percent stake of the 1.8 million-square-foot tower, though it is unclear if they will exercise that option prior to selling.

That option, if New York REIT were to act on it, could result in an investor acquiring the 50-story tower outright. Therefore, “100 percent of the economics” is up for grabs, said a source familiar with the building, located at West 50th Street and Eighth Avenue. George Comfort & Sons and partners own the remaining stake.

Tenants at the tower include law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and Japanese investment banking firm Nomura Holdings America.

Insiders said the property could now fetch $1.8 billion, or $1,000 per square foot. Two other trophy Midtown towers, 1285 Sixth Avenue and 787 Seventh Avenue, sold in the $1,000-per-square-foot range – for $917 and $1,117 per square foot, respectively.

In 2013, New York REIT, then called American Realty Capital New York Recovery REIT, took the 49 percent stake in One Worldwide Plaza, thus valuing the building at the time at $1.45 billion.
